Braxton Whitehead of the WHL 's Regina Pats has received a verbal commitment from Arizona State University .

Whitehead is the first NCAA commitment for a Canadian Hockey League player since a proposed class action suit was filed against the NCAA and 10 universities in August .

The NCAA has deemed anyone who played in the CHL as ineligible because there are players who have signed professional contracts with NHL teams playing in those leagues.

According to one NCAA hockey source, some college programs are "already allocating recruiting budgets" to send scouts to CHL games this season to recruit players. "We're thrilled that one of the post-graduation options for WHL players could be the NCAA , if this thing were to change," said Near. "The more options our players have coming out of our league, the better." ESPN 's Kristen Shilton contributed to this report..
